7 Hot Drinks For Cold Nights in Philly

Jackets, gloves, and hats keep us warm from the outside, but what about warming-up from the inside? Sure, we can stay home and mix our own Tom and Jerrys, or we can venture out and get toasty with these seasonal specials:

Bar Manager, Evan Maffiore, has more than a few spiked coffees for you, but this tipsy wassail twist (pictured above) is a favorite. Fireball Whiskey and apple cider are mixed and served in a mason jar with honey and cinnamon stick toppers. (1100 Chestnut St.; 215-925-6455)

If you’re unfamiliar with the classic Smoking Bishop, think of this one as having more religion. Burgundy is mulled with clove-studded grapefruit, oranges, cinnamon, vanilla bean, anise, and a few secrets. (48 S. 2nd Street; 215-925-2317)

Merion Station’s hip glatt kosher Citron and Rose takes this perennial wintertime favorite South of the Border with a little sugar and spice. Oh, and a healthy dose of tequila, too. For the purposes of turning the heat up on this seasonal specialty, barkeeps add cinnamon and spicy chiles to tequila-spiked cocoa. If this doesn’t thaw you out, we don’t know what will.

Hot Toddies are believed to have curative powers, but prevention is the best medicine, and lead bartender Chauncey Scates is on top of that with six offerings (numbered accordingly), the most exciting three being: Toddy Three $14: High West Double Rye, Mulled Wine Syrup, Chai Coco Tea, Toddy Five $13: Knob Creek, Pumpkin Maple Syrup, Hot Water, and Toddy Six $10: Buffalo Trace, Honey, Chamomile Citrus Tea.
